Restrictive Mitral Valve Annuloplasty: Prognostic Implications of Left Ventricular Forward Flow.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with severe secondary MR treated with surgical repair, LV forward flow was independently associated with better survival and lower risk of the combined endpoint. PMID: 28964411 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Impact of isolated cerebral perfusion technique for aortic arch aneurysm repair in elderly patients.
CONCLUSIONS: ICP during total aortic arch replacement presents an acceptable procedure for elderly patients with severely atherosclerotic aortas. PMID: 30315796 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Direct Cannulation in Minimally Invasive Cardiac surgery with limited resources.
CONCLUSIONS: In our experience, this approach is a reliable platform for a variety of MICS procedures and has resulted in low complication rates. The technique can be applied safely to both paediatric and adult population. Also, it is very cost effective as regular instruments and cannulas are used.

Open repair of descending thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms: a meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite improvement, open repair of descending thoracic aortic aneurysms and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms continues to be associated with a considerable risk of operative death and perioperative complications. The use of the cerebrospinal fluid drain is associated with better outcomes. PMID: 32504596 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Endovascular Repair for Acute Type B Aortic Dissection with Unfavorable Proximal Landing Zone
CONCLUSIONS: Both techniques are feasible and safe for isolated LSA revascularization during endovascular repair for ATBAD. Apart from the associated perioperative risks of complications and mortality for the fenestrated technique, both procedures contributed to favorable aortic remodeling.PMID:33819473 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.02.092

Direct Axillary Artery Cannulation for Type A Dissection and Impact of Dissected Innominate Artery
CONCLUSIONS: Routine direct AX cannulation strategy is safe in ATAD repair. Right AX cannulation can be used in most patients with IAD, even with a compromised true lumen, with low mortality, stroke and vascular injury rates.PMID:34052222 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.05.008

Long-term Outcomes of Concomitant Surgical Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSIONS: Concomitant atrial fibrillation ablation during cardiac surgery is safe, does not increase the rate of perioperative complications, and confers the benefit of long-term survival after cardiac surgery in adults. Atrial fibrillation ablation also improved cardiac surgery patients' long-term survival compared with the matched general atrial fibrillation population.PMID:36216085 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.09.036

Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest with Retrograde Cerebral Perfusion: How Long is Safe?
CONCLUSIONS: DHCA/RCA provided satisfactory outcomes after proximal aortic operations. The safe duration of RCP with DHCA was up to 30 minutes in our experience. When the circulatory arrest time is expected to exceed 60 minutes, other adjuncts for cerebral protection should be recommended.PMID:36243133 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.09.045

Variation in Warfarin Thromboprophylaxis After Mitral Valve Repair: Does Equipoise Exist and Is a Randomized Trial Warranted?
CONCLUSIONS: At present, half of patients are prescribed warfarin after isolated mitral valve repair in North American cardiac surgical practice which may impact the length of hospital stay. Although patient-level predictors of warfarin prescription exist, center- and surgeon-level variations are prominent. There is a pressing need for a randomized trial both to guide therapy and to ascertain the potential for resource conservation. PMID: 23706423 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery: Influence of Aortic Clamping Technique on Early Outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery can be performed successfully using either the endoaortic balloon technique or the transthoracic clamp approach. However, the transthoracic technique results in shorter operation time, less perioperative bleeding and better myocardial protection. PMID: 24035304 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
